feeling that although the episode was not as funny as other episodes from the season, it "was perfect in its own way. It was straight forward and never missed a beat." Barr also praised the episode's subtle jokes and lack of "forced topicalness". Alex Zalben of UGO was disappointed with the episode, calling it a "bummer episode" and "one of the weakest entries this season." Zalben criticized the episode for covering familiar territory, noting the civil rights theme in the same season's earlier episode "Proposition Infinity" and the Titanic jokes of first season's "A Flight to Remember". He also criticized the formulaic writing style, comparing it unfavorably to The Simpsons. Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club gave the episode a mixed review, stating that it had some funny jokes, but "wasn't hilarious", and rated it a B+. He also criticized the Titanic gag, calling it "lazy", but enjoyed some of the cultural references and the guest appearance of Devo.
